I've been looking at a couple sites, for a replacement Living room furniture set-up. (Sofa/sectional, loveseat.)
Ashley Furniture, Wayfair, several others, etc. etc. (Almost always includes "Free Shipping.")
Have you ever purchased furniture online? Any recommendation's welcomed/appreciated.
Those of you who have Leather sectional sofa's/loveseats, do you find them cold/stiff in the wintertime?

I bought a chair online from Costco once, other than that I go to the furniture store. When I retired and did my last move we sold, trashed or gave away all the furniture we had that had been moved all over and got new stuff.
Before computers we used to do the same thing and call different companies in North Carolina and have it shipped to us without having to go to NC to look for furniture.
Ms WT bought a couch that I hadn?t tried out. She bought it while I was traveling. I liken this scenario of buying online - not trying before buying... that couch sux. So - buy it before trying it? Nope...
Our old couch was near the end of it's life anyway and I nearly replaced it around the time we acquired our little "Lela" (Petite Bassett Griffon Vendeen). Sure glad that I did not!! Within the last 6 months she decimated the 3 couch seat cushions, several pillows, my old rocker glider chair, an area rug, 2 doggie beds, and I'm sure something I have forgotten. Oh yea, shoes and slippers!
I have spent a bunch just keeping her in chew toys. Her need to chew things is insatiable! Good thing she is very cute and lovable and has gotten caught up in both my wife's and my heart-strings.
I did do a lot of online furniture snooping several months ago, and ever since I keep getting those pop up adds everywhere I go on the internet!

Curious if you read that article?
I did and would gladly support Wayfair's management team based on that article.
That is what pretty much happened to my stuff. It was fairly old, and bought secondhand to begin with. When I got Buddy a couple years ago from the rescue, he was apprx. 9 mo. old.
I tried to give him the run of the house while I was at work, for the first month or so. He had seperation anxiety issues/boredom etc. It did not work out very well, until I started caging/crating him. All good now.
He did a number on my furniture.
Precisely why I did not share my E-mail address with any of these companies.
Most of our hard furniture came from a local independent who sells Amish furniture. Solid oak.
There is an independent furniture store near Hillsville, Va. that has a huge selection of sofas and easy chairs.
Our next furniture will come from there. High quality stuff.
Chinese furniture put a lot of people in Southwest Virginia out of work.
I read the article. Management made a statement about sales. However they did not say if these employees were fired, lockec out or any discipline.
So please make your comments more on point.
I have a Buddy at work that would pretty much echo that statement.
Made me very leery of them, talking to him every few days, about their F ups related to his furniture delivery/order.
Good point Jim.
Care to share the name of the place?
Quality furniture at much reduced prices.
We have a nice (high quality) leather couch and chair. Real leather seems to adjust itself to body temp very quickly. I am surprised how comfortable it is.
